There's no such thing as a slow night at King's Biergarten, a bastion of German and Austrian food and beer in Pearland. There's an actual biergarten, too, a rambling and rustic patio that overlooks a tidy bayou by day and hosts polka bands by night. King's offers an array of German and Austrian specialties such as schnitzel and soft pretzels alongside a broad array of German brews from Franziskaner to Spaten. If you managed to save room for dessert amidst all the goulash and bratwurst, there's apple strudel and Linzer torte to reward you. If you want to kill two birds with one stein, there's an attached car wash (also run by owner Johann Sitter) that'll give your car a wax while you wait.
